Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and spray a 9×13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray.
Spray one side of a sheet of aluminum foil with cooking spray and set aside.
Spread the cubed rye bread evenly in the bottom of the prepared casserole dish.
Layer the sauerkraut evenly over the bread.
Add the sliced beef on top of the sauerkraut.
Pour the Russian-style dressing evenly over all the layers.
Cover the dish with the prepared foil, sprayed side facing down.
Bake covered for about 20 minutes.
Remove the foil, sprinkle the Swiss cheese evenly over the top, and return to the oven.
Bake uncovered for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Rinsing the sauerkraut helps reduce excess salt.

Lightly toasting the rye bread adds extra texture.

Caraway seeds or sautéed onions make great additions.

Allow the casserole to rest briefly so the layers set.
